I think Project Charter has already developed.High-level information is listed in Project Charter!According to my opinion, it is early to develop planning. Stakeholders Identification in detail level is required.Bit Confused, this identification of stakeholder in detail and develop project management plan can be done concurrently. The Question should have enough information or clue to find out right choice!Hence Identification of Stakeholder is required at this moment.

I would also go with Option 3 as best answer to this question. Develop project charter is not part of PMs role. PM can assist in developing it but its responsibility of sponsor/ PMO or entity authorizing the project. Since PM has been assigned, it is safe to assume, charter is already developed.
